ton OF the Irish FaiehnI
League OF America.
Coercion to be Fought With Dynamit
Poison, the Knife and Fire Moderate
Men Made Dynamiters.

NEW YORK, March 28.-The Tribune
says: "Since the time when the men,
bers of the Irish National League Of Bos-
ton, with John Boyle O'ReiIly at their
ne d, issued announcement that $1,000 re-
ward would be paid if an informer could
be found TO tell who assassinated Lord
Frederick Cavendish and Mr.. Burke, in
Phoenix Park, Dublin, nothing has &C.
CURED in this country that has created
such a sensation among the Irish-Amerl-
can element as the proclama-
ton by John Fitz ~erald, Presi-
dent of the Irish National League
of America, published yesterday, ostensi-
bly, on appeal for money to help along the
Parnellite mode of warfare. II is thought
by many to be call to arms, and dis
tinct threat that preparations will be
made on a large scale to carry out the
work of the dynamite explosions which
was the order of the day two years ago
in London and other large ecu
tiers of English population. John
Fitzgerald and Mr.. Eagan both
do business in the same town of Hncoln,
Neb. If the Irish sentiment both here
and in Brooklyn is to be believed, there
will soon be a beginning of "a time of
blood and thunder" in England should
the coercion act oe passed by Parliament.
Several advanced Irish NatiOnelists from
this and neighboring cities met last even
ing at the house of William j. Kneud to
discuss the present position of the Irish
question and to suggest what in their
opinion should be done to meet the pro-
posed coercion act. William Knoud pre-
sided, and his speech was the most i'm
portant of the evening. He said
it was q waste OF time
to rely any further on parliamentary
effort and that if anything was to be done
it should be line of force, of some form
or other, so that the English would
understand that the day for speech max
ing and wordy resolutions, which hurt
nobody, had passed. He added: Mrs.
Parnell, the mother of the great Irish
leader, has been under this roof for sew
eral mon'hs, and what nave told her
many times / repeat, while Parnell may
be an able man his usefulness has reached
it's limit, and the work of the Irish Ma
tiOnalists, henCeforth. must be reyolGtton
with dynamite or other force Tat Will
help to psralyze the oppressers of
our country. Applause The conscience
of the world is with US, out that does not
keep the Irish peasantry in their homes
does not stay the hand of the ,exserinin-
ator or save the people sfrom prison
Other weapons are required, Weapons
that science has put into our hands, dyna-
mite and gunpowder. Applause Glow
can We ti5ht?" do you ask? Look here
(pointing to the old swords and guns
and revolvers That he brought
back from the war hanging around
the roOm,) do you see these? we have
given up attempting to fight England with
such weapons. We will fight her now
with dynamite, poison, knife, fire and
every weapon man can devise, in the
words of the manifesto if, of course, the
coercion bill be passed. Do you know
that this continued persecution OF Ireland
| has made dYnamiters of moderate men?
